I should maybe change the name of this blog into Chocolate Workshop cause I keep posting recipes that use chocolate. But I so love working with it in desserts and I’m sure you don’t mind seeing more and more chocolate recipes, do you?! This souffle cake was inspired by Christina Marsigliese – Scientifically Sweet. I added Amaretto mainly because I just bought a whole bottle of it and OMG, it tastes so good! But I love the final cake and the Amaretto is a nice addition.. so airy, creamy and melts in your mouth with every bite, just perfect for a chocoholic like myself!

Ingredients:

250g dark chocolate, chopped

100g butter, softened

6 tablespoons sugar, divided

4 eggs, separated

2 tablespoons plain flour

1 pinch salt

2 tablespoons Amaretto

2 tablespoons sliced almonds

Directions:

Mix the dark chocolate and butter in a bowl over a water bath and melt them together. Remove from heat and stir in the egg yolks, 3 tablespoons sugar, flour, salt and Amaretto. Mix well and set aside.

Whip the egg whites until fluffy then add the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and keep mixing until the meringue is stiff and glossy.

Gently fold the meringue into the chocolate batter and pour the mixture into a 20cm (or even smaller for a taller cake) diameter cake pan lined with parchment paper or greased with butter.

Bake in the preheated oven at 350F for 30-35 minutes or until well risen.

Let it cool down before serving. Need I say how good it is?! You will see for yourself if you try it.
